He’s saying they were able to win the game because they ran the option when Saban wasn’t expecting it. It caused Saban to change his own game plan and it didn’t work out to his benefit
But that didn't happen. We didn't change our gameplan on defense. LSU had one drive of over 45 yards the entire game (it came right before halftime and led to a FG). LSU scored 9 points. 6 of them where when their offense got the ball at the Alabama 25 yard line or closer in.
LSU won that ballgame because they bowed up when Alabama got to the 30 yard line and forced us into long field goals. We moved the ball pretty well between the 30s for most of the game, but LSU stiffened and never gave in. Then, when they got a shot, they made plays (the INT on the Maze pass, a few huge sacks and TFLs, the INT on McCarron, a huge sack in OT).

6 years later and this myth is still going?
For the upteenth time, from the start of the 2ndQ till the end of the game, LSU OUTGAINED bama. You dominated the 1stQ. After that, your offense did no better than ours. Other than overtime of course, when you had -10 and we gained 17.
As for the missed FGs, you "missed" one. The two that were 50+ didn't even reach the goal post and another was blocked.
